BELIEF - WP3D9 - Technical & Evaluation Report of 1st BELIEF Brainstorming Workshop
Pantazaras S., Zoppi F., Toli E., Benians S., Delis A.
The main objective of 1st Brainstorming BELIEF Workshop was to bring together experts in the areas of eInfrastructures, Grid computing, Digital Libraries, and Management of Data, along with selected IT professionals, researchers, and project managers to consider and debate the development of Scientific Repositories and Content Management in terms of technical, managerial, legal, financial, and user issues. The combination of Content Management and Scientific Repositories jointly termed as Knowledge Infrastructures (KIs) are expected to play a critical role in the continuity of European leadership in the area of e-Infrastructures. The workshop was organized as a forum for experts to put forward key questions for the development of KIs and debate them in a collegiate manner. As such, the meeting proved to be very successful as it was very well attended and its informal setting provided the required environment for a critical and exciting exchange of diverse views.Source: Project report, BELIEF, 2006

BELIEF-II D5.2 project quality plan
Zoppi F.
The Project Quality Plan (PQP) is a handbook designed to guide the BELIEF-II project participants through all aspects of the project's management and to state, track and monitor the quality of the work produced by the project. It is to serve as a reference tool as it brings together all of the procedures and policies that have been agreed upon since the beginning of the project by the Project Coordinator, the Partner Managers and the Work Package Leaders. A Quality Manager (QM) - nominated among project's members - is in charge of the proper design, update and application of the PQP. The QM establishes guidelines, rules, procedures and metrics for quality assurance and is supported by a Project Quality Board (PQB). The PQB will meet at least in conjunction with the PMB meetings. The PQP covers both the process and the products, as well qualitative and quantitative quality characteristics, and includes a Risk Management section with the identification of contingency ad recovery plans. It also defines the internal review process to be applied to the different types of achievements and deliverable results (i.e. reports, specifications, evaluation of results etc.). Standard structure and formats for the various classes of documents that will be produced in the context of the project are also defined in this QP.Source: Project report, BELIEF II, Deliverable D5.2, 2008

EAGLE portal and services requirements and specifications
Mambrini F., Evangelisti S., Martineau P., Prandoni C., Zoppi F.
The document provides the list of the functional requirements for the user-dedicated services of the EAGLE project. The sections of the Introduction provide a general description of the whole EAGLE architecture and of the three services that the users will be able to interact with. Sec. 1.3 is dedicated to outline the content that will be made available and introduces the terminology that will be used to refer to the contents of the EAGLE collection. Sec. 1.4 presents the rationale of the EAGLE Portal, Flagship Mobile Application and Flagship Storytelling Application. In sec. 1.5 we discuss the methodology that was followed in eliciting the requests for functions, and how we selected the requirements that were chosen to be included, at some point in time, in the EAGLE system. Sec. 2 introduces the main components that form the backbone of the EAGLE user-dedicated system, and discuss the model of interactions between them. This section must not be read as a set of finalized guidelines for the implementation of the architecture. Rather at this stage, the section aims to represent the model according to which the EAGLE system will function as a whole, and to provide the reader with the information she needs to understand requirements and use-cases. While sec. 2 attempts a preliminary description of the EAGLE system in terms of its components, in sec. 3 we shift the perspective to that of the user: this will be the dominant point of view in the rest of the deliverable. In this section, we will provide a description of the target users of the EAGLE services and proceed to define the user groups for the different functions. Finally, sec. 4 contains a list and a discussion of the functional requirements, organized according to the three EAGLE services (query and search the EAGLE data base, mobile application and storytelling application) and by the target user. Conclusions and future work are briefly mentioned in sec. 5Source: Project report, EAGLE, Deliverable D5.1, pp.1–61, 2014

Open knowledge on e-Infrastructures: the BELIEF project digital library
Zoppi F., Castelli D., Tylor S.
The BELIEF Project is a Coordination Action funded by the European Commission in the context of the FP6 and FP7 Programmes. It aims to create a platform where e-Infrastructures providers and users can collaborate and exchange knowledge, ensuring that e-Infrastructures are developed and effectively used worldwide, filling the gap separating the e-Infrastructures providers from the users, and thus contribute to the emergence of a competitive knowledge-based economy. To create this synergy among multi-disciplinary communities, BELIEF created a one-stop-shop providing a Portal and a Digital Library with a huge number of e-Infrastructures open access publications. The Digital Library offers uniform access to multimedia documentation providing continuously updated information on e-Infrastructures-related projects, initiatives and events. The contents are harvested from different sources, such as projects web sites, repositories and databases. The DL - implemented on top of the OpenDLib Digital Library Management System - provides services to support the submission, description, searching, browsing, retrieval, access, preservation and visualization of multimedia documents. Although designed to meet the needs of the e-Infrastructures community, the technology adopted by BELIEF can be easily adapted to meet the information and collaborative needs of other scientific communities.Source: IST-Africa 2010 Conference, 19-21 May 2010, Durban, South Africa, Durban, South Africa, 19-21 may 2010

OPENAIRE - OpenAIRE sustainability model
Schmidt B., Manghi P., Manola N., Zoppi F.
This report outlines first steps for the development and implementation of a sustainability plan for OpenAIRE, with the aim to outline how OpenAIRE could be moved from a pilot to a permanent infrastructure. OpenAIRE, a project co-funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Program (2009-2012), needs to define a Sustainability Roadmap for its human network of open access experts (National Open Access Desks) and coordinators as well as its technical infrastructure and services. This report will discuss best practices in the landscape of e-Infrastructure initiatives and will describe a scenario on how the activities and services under development by the OpenAIRE project could be sustained into the mid-term future. Moreover, it summarizes open issues and questions which have to be addressed and outlines some possible solutions. Further measures to support the sustainability of OpenAIRE will have to be addressed within its extension project OpenAIREplus (2011-2013). OpenAIREplus enlarges the realm of OpenAIRE to the linking of publications with data from various sources (data archives, authority services, CRIS etc.). It will deliver a study on sustainability and business models for open access infrastructures and a feasibility/business plan for the technical operation of the infrastructure and services as developed by OpenAIRE/OpenAIREplus (deliverables D3.5, D3.7 and D3.8). Therefore, this report will be limited to a discussion of options for the governance, legal framework and funding models. Moreover, it might serve as a pre-study in the context of the OpenAIREplus studies.Source: Project report, OpenAIRE, Deliverable D3.2, 2012

D4SCIENCE-II - Report on inter-projects coordination and collaboration
Castelli D., Zoppi F.
This deliverable reports on the collaborations with other FP7 projects and R&D programmes established by D4Science-II from the beginning of the project until July 2010. The collaborations described are of different nature, as they range from purely technical exchanges involving mutual exploitation of technologies to the sharing of e- Infrastructure resources and to the joint organization of networking and dissemination events. The deliverable presents these collaborations clustered into: (i) Technological projects, which either develop technologies that can be exploited by D4Science-II or that use the D4Science-II developed ones (e.g. EMI, VENUS-C); (ii) Ecosystem components, which comprise projects and initiatives that are part of the ecosystem initiated by D4Science or that may become part of it in the near future (e.g. 4D4Life, AquaMaps, GENESI-DR/DEC, OpenAIRE); (iii) Coordination actions and networking initiatives, which include EU projects addressing aspects complementary to the technological ones, like exploitation, outreach and sustainability (e.g. OGF-Europe, GridTalk, DL.org); and iv) Other projects and initiatives, which refer to envisaged collaborations with projects and organisations which have been recently contacted by - or have contacted - D4Science-II for establishing different types of co-operations (e.g. BioFresh, Data Conservancy, LifeWatch). For each collaboration we present concrete activities performed and plans for the future, if any.Source: Project report, D4SCIENCE-II, Deliverable DNA2.2, 2010
